Free samples at grocery stores

[Captain Crawfish]

OCD, that has nothing to do with OCD and everything to do with his spit on a toothpick being put back into the rest of the samples. Wanna french kiss some dude? I don't!

as long as he doesnt touch each piece with the friggin toothpick its no big deal. im not much on handouts anyway give that to the democrats

No way Costco has way better samples, altho the company that demos products is the same

I second Costco as well

Specs has the best samples. Alcohol. Granted, you aren't going to get drunk, but free alcohol is free.

Where are you shopping that the samples aren't placed out in individual servings for the customer? I've only been in a Sam's and a Costco recently, but I don't recall seeing a sample station where there isn't someone preparing the individual samples for you.

Because the toothpick can poke all the way thru a small piece of cantelope and he looked like he fumbled around in the tray of samples. Maybe he only touched the one he wanted, but who knows. It's like double dipping the hot sauce when you go out to eat mexican food.

Ok, yes your a germaphobe.

Some grocery stores I've been in just chop up some fruit or bread or whatever and have it in a container.

There are far more things to worry about falling in your food when you go out to eat at a restaurant than some guy using the same toothpick on a sample platter.....now take your hand sanitizer out of your purse and apply generously...

I'm really not OCD, but I never do the free samples unless it is something I really want to try and think that it is healthy. Problem is, most, if not all of the free samples are not even close to what I consider being healthy...

Hey Fred, they are usually one bite. Don't think you have much to worry about there.

I know right!? The Albertson's by my house will get a loaf of Italian bread, cut it into 100 pieces and put it in a sample tray. Big fuckin' deal!

It's not a purse, it's a European shoulder bag!!!
